After the book "Distinguishing Characteristics of Classic Stamps " by Hermann Schloss in 1951 came out to list 9 differences between the real and fakes ,someone made a new reprint of the stamps ,correcting all the previous fakes to the originals but they used a much brighter white paper and all the colors are different ,the yellow was too bright. These are know as Type II reprints ,that is what you have .--- Floortrader .
